November 28, 2012 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Desmond Campus

Delve into the colorful world of mosaics in a relaxed, fun,
no-pressure atmosphere where students can explore and develop their
own individual creativity. This class is a complete overview of
mosaics, including hands-on experience as students, create
one-of-a-kind custom pieces using the direct method of application.
Explore a variety of mosaic materials in this class—ceramic tile,
stained glass, china, and found objects. There is an introduction
to adhesives, grouts, bases, and sources for materials and
substrates as well. The class starts off with a brief historical
overview of mosaic and a discussion on the various methods of
constructing a mosaic, materials, tools, and substrates. A
materials fee of $45, payable by cash or check, will be collected
by the instructor at the beginning of the class.
